More about this scene

The White Hart (right) is a 15th-century building with later additions. The thatched roof at the left-hand road junction belongs to Serjeant Bendlowes`s Cottage. Bendlowes held various official posts under the Tudor monarchs, some of whom had to turn a blind eye to his Catholicism. The Cottage is one of several almshouses he endowed.

My Walk From Mandalay Farm To Center Of Great Bardfield
I was stationed at RAF Wethersfield from 1961 to 1964 and often on Sundays I would ride with the Gilbey's in their horse-drawn coaches down the lanes and through Great Bardfield.  I also met Ted and Dorothy from Mandalay Farm and their children (Donna, her younger sister, and two brothers).  We often would walk to Great Bardfield. It was an exciting time in the life of a young airman.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
